    Great content. You should repackage it to a more attractive video presentation. I nearly passed over it simply because of the dull appearing powerpoint etc.

    With Aphasia,my patient doesn’t answer any questions. Yes may mean no and no means yes. She tries to make sounds but 90% of sounds are unintelligible. Can’t tell if she is in pain. I want to help but don’t know what she is trying to tell me. Very good presentation

      My wife has PPA and cannot speak. We can tell by her body language if she is uncomfortable. Usually that means she needs to relieve herself or has a dirty/wet diaper. True she cannot speak about pain but I am sure I will know when she is in pain.

    Why try to prevent infections and pneumonia when the patient is at end stage dementia? Isn't it better to allow these things to happen and shorten the suffering? Surely they have no quality of life.

      I'm somewhat on the fence about this topic. A possible rationale would be that an infected bed sore(or any other condition)can be very painful. No need to place anyone in a situation that causes added pain, especially towards the end of life. Also, it would be traumatic for family to witness the effects of aspiration, especially if they realized that they might have been able to possibly prevent the incident. I can only imagine what grief that would bring them.

      Care decisions should be made with quality of life in mind. Putting a severe dementia patient into a hospital hooked up to IVs in an attempt to get rid of pneumonia, knowing it will just return soon, is cruel. However, getting a flu shot or giving oral antibiotics to clear up a painful UTI makes sense.
